Sony provides five reasons to choose your 4K cameras for video surveillance and monitoring

High performance, with a resolution that quadruples the level of detail compared to Full HD, and greater flexibility for a wide variety of video surveillance and monitoring applications are some of the arguments offered by this manufacturer in this article.

The multinational Sony explains five reasons why its range of Ultra High Resolution network cameras (UHD - 4K) is the main choice for a wide variety of video surveillance applications, monitoring and security.

1.- Quadruples the level of detail of the Full HD resolution: more pixels means higher level of detail. 4K IP cameras capture ultra-sharp video with a high resolution of 3,840×2,160, which is more than eight million pixels. An advantage of this is, For example, when watching the action on a busy street, a shopping centre or a production line of a factory and, thanks to 4K cameras, it is possible to display the smallest details of a vehicle's license plate, a face in the crowd or an object.

2.- Optimal sensitivity: the Type Exmor R CMOS Image Sensor 1.0 of the SNC-VM772R model allows to capture light in a more efficient way than with the sensors used in other 4K cameras, matching the sensitivity of FHD systems, but with an incredible resolution of 20 Megapixel.

SNC-VB770 takes 4K sensitivity to a new level. With the full-frame Exmor sensor 35 mm and digital signal processing, this device offers a sharp color image, even in conditions of almost complete darkness, with less image noise level that does affect other video surveillance cameras.

3.- Fewer cameras and easier installation: a single 4K device can cover an area four times larger than a standard HD, so that to monitor large areas, as car parks, train stations, Stadiums, Etc. fewer cameras are required and installation is faster and cheaper, to which is added a reduction in operating expenses (power consumption, maintenance...) during the life cycle of the video surveillance network.

4.- Intelligent integration: the intelligent functions of Sony's 4K cameras eliminate the need to update the entire system to enjoy the advantages of this resolution. Smart crop function provides an overview of the scene in FHD in a stream, and up to four native streams cropped with dynamic tracking to capture detail in full resolution without losing the overview. It's like having the smart features of a PTZ system and a fixed camera on the same device..

5.- Tracking, detection and encoding: the 4K cameras of this manufacturer also incorporate the functions of intelligent tracking, advanced motion detection and intelligent coding to capture certain areas of interest in maximum detail, And, at the same time, reduce bit rate in the other areas of the scene to save bandwidth and storage costs.
